 The Lynx shunt contains a positive bus-bar with space to mount a CNN fuse and a negative bus-bar with a shunt.
-It also contains battery monitoring electronics. The Lynx shunt can send via the VE.CAN bus battery monitoring information to a CCGX or VGX or to a third party CANbus monitoring system, such as a NMEA2000. The CCGX, VGX or third party display acts as battery monitor display and is also used to set up the built-in battery monitor.

 The Lynx shunt is available with a VE.Can connection. A previous model had a VE.Net connection and is now discontinued.

 Q - Is there a way of setting the battery instance?
-A - There is a program available to change this but as the default is 0, which is the same as what a CCGX reads we would not advise changing this!!

 If you wish to use the fuse indication LEDs on the Lynx Distributor, it also requires a connection to a Lynx Shunt. The Lynx Shunt contains the necessary wide input (8 to 70VDC) power supply to output the required 5V (4,5V-5,5V) power requirement of the Lynx Distributor circuit board.
-RJ11 fly leads are used to connect the Lynx Shunt to the Distributor. This RJ11 cable is supplied with the Distributor in the box. There are two ports on the Lynx Shunt, and it is possible to use either.

 When all is OK, only the central LED is green; when a fuse has blown (or is missing) the central and blow fuse circuit LEDs turn red. If you are not using all connection points in your DC distribution, it may be necessary to fit dummy fuses to extinguish the red LEDs.
-A future upgrade is planned to also send info back to the GX device over the VE-can, but is not yet implemented.
 ==== Fuses ====
 Uses MEGA fuses. Please note that some MEGA fuses are only rated to 36Volt (suitable for 24V systems), You must use 58/64V rated fuses for 48V systems.

 A - That’s for manual settings, please don’t touch as the system will auto configure (up to 32 battery’s )
-Q - The Distributor has a 6-pin header block. What is it for?
-A - In the future, the read out of fuses, but this is not supported yet.
